Дорогие коллеги! Я думаю многие из вас помнят развлечение совестких детей - переводные картинки. А как же их назвать по- английски? Помогите, пожалуйста!

transfers

You mean a picture which you moisten and apply to your skin, after which you peel off the paper and leave the picture on your skin? I remember them from my own childhood, and they were always simply known as "transfers".

Thank you.
agree Kirill Semenov : water transfers, probably :) And not only on your skin, we were used to stick these to anywere from walls to our notebooks. These things were so valuable in my childhood :) + As kids we used to call it "переснимачки", quite a colourful word.
